About Us
Our experienced team of pediatric occupational therapists lead with compassion while working with children of all ages. Our experts are skilled in evaluating children’s neurological, musculoskeletal, cognitive, sensory and emotional development, as well as determining the effects of infant and childhood illness on growth and development.
We believe in teamwork and collaborate with schools and other specialists to help your child thrive in daily life to the best of their ability. Depending on your child’s needs, this may mean working on sensory integration, play, exercise, social interaction and fine motor activities such as handwriting. We encourage family participation to help children progress, learn functional skills and reach their targeted goals in a timely manner.
As part of our comprehensive care, we provide functional visual assessments and home equipment evaluations. After evaluating your child’s abilities and discussing their goals with you, we’ll develop a customized plan that includes child-specific self-care behaviors and social skills—and the ability to thrive as all children should.
